Brown Recluse Spider Bight? Help!?
I have a thing on my skin. It started off red with a white dot in the middle and then the white dot grew bigger (assuming with pus) and than I woke up the next day and it was gone, but the red mark is still there and my skin, where the mark is is still moist. It is hard to tell nut it kind of looks like there is a tiny opening where the white bumb used to be. Was this a brawn recluse bit or just a pimple? Thanks!

This is not a bite from any spider, not a bite at all. This is a common skin abscess.(bad pimple)
These can be from ingrown hair, infected pores, or typical staph.
Most likely the pustule drained while you were sleeping,(good sign) so this should heal nicely in a week or so.
Just keep it clean, and a topical antibiotic is a good idea.
